Overdrive Indeed

I think downloadables for the general public are one of the greatest library collection additions since sliced bread, as the saying goes. Myself, I'm not a candidate for this format, but I love being able to introduce the product to the people, answer their questions, show them the steps from getting started to kicking it into overdrive. I'm especially thrilled when an OD selection can provide reading material for a person when no other format is available and they can't wait. The fact that a 'book' remains checked out for the full period before disappearing is a common complaint that I hear, but on the whole, OD is a great hit.
